Sleep is often framed as a universal biological necessity, yet there is no universally accepted definition of sleep health. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (hereafter respectfully referred to as First Nations peoples), the concept of sleep health is shaped by cultural knowledges, spiritual connections, and, regrettably, by histories of displacement, ongoing inequities, and intergenerational trauma.1 For many First Nations peoples, healthy sleep extends beyond rest and restoration.
